1:08 am

chj, I'm sure you'd look lovely with dangly earrings - but they are a good choice according to today' real theme

tx, deb

1:08 am

yes jili - chj had nice earrings - but the poo earrings are still my personal favorite

5th 8

1:10 am

1:12 am

*feet, with the daisy

1:13 am

1:23 am

Drat!

1:24 am

my wife will soon be la8-ing.. hopefully.

1:24 am

I'm still struggling with this outerwear. Is it an American word?

1:24 am

its a compound word sue

i think it's rather an international word - since it is used by people who travel all over

1:25 am

thanks roc for la. when due date?

1:25 am

she was due on monday

1:25 am

ahhh!

1:26 am

1:27 am

I've got that PE now, but I've never heard of it!

1:27 am

(Thanks for your help everybody, though!)

1:29 am

didn't the pe8 originate in the navy?

i believe so flosey

about to turn in - here are the clues for the 8s: •ac8 - synthetic fabric past tense, •ca8 50 #1 - hat with flairs? •ca 8 50 #2 - little cloaks •co8 - a shameless flirt, •la8 - made milk, •pe8 - swab's wrap, •st8 - kept aright.

all those question marks were bullets. - except ca8 50 #1 - hat with flairs? (kinda cryptic)

awfully nice of you melon :) tx

1:33 am

very clever melon... got the ca8!

1:33 am

tx, melon - do you mean flares?

nope.

1:33 am

this grid is giving me a little headache

1:50 am

what my kitty did is in the grid - ca6/24

calling it a night here - goig to finish watching 'walk the line' - the phoenix guy is usually creepy, but i think, so far, he's doing a great job, can totally see why he was nominated for an academy award

good nite everyone :)

1:51 am

but reese is a revelation, don't you think?

1:51 am

nite helen - happy evening

1:51 am

nite hk

1:52 am

bbl

1:53 am

morning babblers...Boo! was hoping for a quick grid today!

1:55 am

hi seano - missed your flying dino before -

1:55 am

he'll be flying off soon, what's the the to save me looking

1:56 am

whats the theme that should have been

1:57 am

it's golden toes, in honour of kristinc's baby lost at 36 weeks' gestation form a cord problem, due today

1:57 am

oh that is so sad

1:57 am

the theme that should have been is cats, hence mine for now

1:59 am

a sadness that so many people experience

2:05 am

Ok, off to bed for me, good night all

2:07 am

((((kristinc))))) Morning all.

howdy

2:11 am

My heart goes out to kristinc. Been there.

2:14 am

how many words today?

2:20 am

298, maddie!

2:23 am

Hey jilli! Still awake, I see :)

2:24 am

tippy tippy toes....298 words....

2:26 am

good morning everybody:)

2:26 am

Hi mab, hi jean

2:27 am

just barely, sprite!

OK, I'm not starting today's grid - I've no time to complte 298 words - but have fun guys!

2:28 am

I have to be fast today, have to be off in about half an hour and won't be back in till tonight. Probably will emulate your staying up late tonight! :)

2:29 am

i know what you mean matty, i am flying to the UK today...i have a million things to do....yet here i am!

2:29 am

mattygroves, wish I'd stuck to your theory. Should know better!

2:29 am

Not finishing isn't the end of the world, you know... :) We can play for the fun of it.

2:31 am

I'm not attempting this monster - Wednesday is always a busy one for me, with my library shift, and it always seems to be a huge grid. So I'll pop in now and then and go to bed at a reasonable hour (sort of)

Couldn't resist changing my icon (cats today, or toes. I've gone for cats. And dragons)

2:31 am

I very rarely finish sprite -I enjoy the words and the chat.

2:31 am

now say that like you mean it sprite.....yeah i can give up any time!!!

2:32 am

That's the spirit, JFB! I am so lucky the grid flips for me at 7 am, so I always have the entire day to play, theoretically. But if I can't finish tonight, I won't cry. Promise! ;)

2:33 am

seano, I swear, I did not play for almost a week and I didn't go cold turkey! Will try that again from Friday on, we'll leave for our holiday in Germany then.

2:33 am

The flip here is 6am. I'm either not up then or already at work.

Why golden toes, when the theme according to Angelsong is cats?

2:34 am

I believe it is in tribute to kristinc, who lost her baby prematurely.

2:34 am

click on my icon, matty, for the explanation

2:37 am

If you go to Lickety's page and Icon Themes on the right, you'll see the changed theme for today

Hello Everyone!!

Oh. Well, I'll be off in a minute anyway...

2:39 am

Ha mrP! *hug*

2:39 am

hi mrp!

how is everyone today?? *hugs back* and is this grid approachable?

2:41 am

Approachable, but not finishable for me anyway.

2:41 am

Very approachable, mrP, words are coming fast as they can. But it is pretty big today!

yeah! nearly 300 is big!! I will give it a go though!

since when is edit not a word?

2:46 am

It is a word, it's just not in the grid today.

2:49 am

298? I don't think so! I think I'll put up the new curtains I bought at the weekend, and tackle a few other jobs I have ignored while babbling

I don't....start...can't...start...... ..

2:49 am

LOL!

2:49 am

be strong matty

2:50 am

yeah, right, matty

2:51 am

Good morning campers!

2:51 am

KEEP STRONG - SHOW YOU HAVE MORE WILL POWER THAN ME!

2:51 am

hello souleh

2:51 am

I have to be off, back at the end of the day. Hi there, souleh. And bye all, happy hunting and have fun!

2:51 am

morning to all that have come in whilst had my head in the grid

2:52 am

Sorry - didn't mean to shout.

2:52 am

hi jean

2:52 am

bye sprite

2:52 am

It was a strong message, JFB!

2:52 am

Hi Jillibus & mrpresident

2:52 am

bye sprite - I'm off soon

2:52 am

Did it work?

2:52 am

Sure you will, jillibus. Sure you will ;)

2:53 am

No, really, this time *poof*

2:54 am

Good luck tearing yourself away and sleep well! I am *poof* now.

2:55 am

2:56 am

3:39 am

Hi spanner. Seems a lot of words, and everyone is very quiet!

3:58 am

Hello everyone

3:58 am

Hi Preethi

4:00 am

Hi Angb. How many words in the grid today?

4:01 am

Do you really want to know? 298

4:04 am

thats a lot! Im still at 53 :( long way to go!

4:05 am

I've got to 73. But I've been here a while. I've decided to avoid the list, otherwise I stay till I get them all out. And it's the end of our day here!

4:05 am

yeah true. I havent see the list either

4:05 am

where are you from Angb?

4:06 am

New Zealand. And you?

4:06 am

India

4:06 am

its 2:30 pm here and im at work. Babbling whenever i find time

4:07 am

Wow, Babble truly gets around. I have quite a few students who have come to NZ to study from India.

4:07 am

It's 9.07pm here.

4:07 am

cool. Are you a professor?

4:08 am

Wow, the kids should be in bed ... Sort of. I teach in a polytechnic and we don't have professors, and I don't think I am that clever anyway. LOL

4:09 am

I lecture in business, marketing and advertising.

4:09 am

awesome. Im in the online advertising business

4:09 am

Mornin' All...hhhmmmmmm this looks interesting.

4:10 am

Hi Odin

4:10 am

Fantastic. I know a little about that, but probably not enough. Hi Odin. 298 words today!!!!

4:10 am

Hey. What's the theme today?

4:11 am

Something about golden toes. Didn't get it at all! LOL

4:11 am

The combo's are incredible. Golden toes...I don't think I get it either.

4:12 am

Neither did I before i took up this job. But it is interesting stuff.

4:13 am

Do you place advertising on other people's sites or something?

4:14 am

Odin. What combo's were you talking about?

4:14 am

are you familiar with the advertising pgm that Google offers? Its called AdWords. So i work in that. We place ads on Google.

4:15 am

ed's double t's

4:16 am

I have some of those Odin, but probably not all of them yet (as usual) LOL

4:16 am

Preethi, I have seen those ads that Google put everywhere that seem to change with the "context". Sorry I'm a media planner by trade. Is that what you mean?

4:17 am

I'm diggin' this way more than yesterdays.

4:18 am

I'm finding this harder today. I keep on seeing Odin now LOL

4:19 am

Yeah. you are right. So the ads that you see on Google.com are selected based on what the user is looking for. I work with the AdWords department in Google which handles the ads that advertisers submit.

4:19 am

Great, must be interesting. Wonder what they'll come up with next?

4:20 am

I saw it right away...what do they call them? Phantom words or something?

4:20 am

Yep, phantom words I think. I am new here and still picking up the lingo. Love to know what babblets are.

4:21 am

yup. it is very interesting

4:21 am

Yeah, what the *h* does that mean? I am new also and I am barley figuring out the jargon.

4:25 am

im at 63. this grid seems tougher than i thought it was

4:26 am

I agree Preethi. Am at 85, and at a complete standstill.

4:26 am

I holding my own..

4:26 am

hi all!

4:26 am

Hi folks. I'm at 73. Tough one today.

4:27 am

Hi Fran

4:27 am

Hi Hydra

4:27 am

4:28 am

I'm still seeing the dino...

4:28 am

just got home from a meeting to find a monster grid!!

4:28 am

:) true Fran. Im stuck at 66!

4:29 am

Lots of ed endings which helps, Fran. But I am studk in the 80s

4:30 am

well, just wanted to say hello, going to work without the chat for a while. BTW, a babblet is just a word that appears in the grids a lot and not neccessarily part of common conversation, for instance etna.

4:30 am

Cheers thnx for that Fran. Good babbling

4:30 am

Thanks Fran!

4:30 am

see you all in a few!!

4:31 am

Immediately dashed to grid to see if it was there today. But we are etna-less.

4:31 am

Good luck Fran

4:31 am

Make no mistake I checked too

4:31 am

Hmm, you too?

4:32 am

At least we know what it means now...learning a little each day

4:32 am

95 now. Creeping up!

4:32 am

And the words you learn!

4:33 am

Not sure I'll use a lot of them though

4:33 am

If I could only remember them all

4:33 am

awesome Hydra. Im stuck at 73

4:33 am

100 now. I'm amazing myself.

4:34 am

Well don hydra. Bum up for me I think

4:34 am

LOL

4:35 am

I BELIVE THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF BUMS UP TODAY!

4:35 am

Think it's time for an la5/10. (Think coffee...)

4:36 am

I'm with you ...

4:36 am

That'll keep you sa 4/4

4:37 am

;]

4:37 am

Hi everyone, I was hoping for a small grid today, no such luck. What's the theme today?

4:38 am

Mornin' Pap. Big one today

4:38 am

Golden toes??

4:38 am

Hi Pap.

4:39 am

I'm slowing down at 72

4:39 am

I'm on 109 and have to go again. I didn't intend to come back again but just sort of found myself here!

4:39 am

Wow. I'm on 107. Catching you up.

4:39 am

Don't we all J!

4:39 am

It's gold toes day. Waiting for someone to explain this!

4:40 am

gold toes? I'll stick with my gator until I see what that means

4:40 am

This Babbling eats into your time.

4:40 am

Specially if you work from home like me.

4:40 am

I forgot to put the kids to bed tonite LOL

4:41 am

Bad mum!

4:41 am

If I worked from home it would be over for me...too addictive

4:41 am

A babbling mum!!!!

4:42 am

I Babble till I score 1000 then resolutely log out and get working. But it's already 10.40 and I've done nothing but Babble!

4:42 am

Phanton word: teddies

4:43 am

You must have 100o by now hydra ... where's your won't power? LOL It is addictive. I had to restrict myself to not taking this list ... otherwise I would stay until I got all the words out. 1am or 2 am in the morning!

4:44 am

No, I'm at 970 Angb. Haven't consulted lists yet. That's my treat for later! Have to work on my astrology column today. It takes an age to do.

4:44 am

I have a couple of meeting to attend. will catch up with you guys in a lil bit. Have fun babbling!

4:44 am

morning all :) ...the 30 minute challenge takes on a new meaning with a big grid like this...

4:53 am

6:38 am

and I just monkey typed both of them

6:38 am

for the qu 5 add past tene of eat

6:39 am

6:39 am

Think of a posh English person saying 'quite'

6:39 am

quate

6:39 am

good morning all

6:39 am

sorry, wrong spot

6:39 am

that would be the word, mom :)

ta jera and hello, i wasn't sure if the qu was tile filler or if there are qu contanting words that are going to irritate me

6:39 am

Morning, Mom... how are you today?

6:39 am

Morning, ch1212

6:39 am

very good, and you?

6:40 am

Hi Jera, ch, lady

6:40 am

Tired! Didn't get to finish yesterday due to GS meeting

opps hey cath

6:41 am

Ch1212 I know, dummy me, I forgot to move the cursor back to the puzzle after saying good morning.

6:41 am

6:41 am

6:41 am

odetta

opss sorry about the typo in here just then, hopefully thats the only mistake i make

6:42 am

If that's the worst thing you do today, you're doing good...

im being good, too tired tonight just barelying thinking and its 940pm here

6:43 am

What's the icon theme today? I'm still in my quoll costume... should change...

6:43 am

"Gold Toes" is the icon theme, whatever that means

6:44 am

It's a brand of socks, of course...

6:44 am

Sounds frightening...

6:44 am

Never heard of them, LOL

jera theres the web site for youhttp://www.goldtoe.com/

6:46 am

there are 4 chemical i's amanda, just found the 4th one!

as soon as you said gold toe i thought 'goldfinger'

6:49 am

wanna clue me in on that one Ata?

6:49 am

Are they scraping the bottom of the barrel for themes??

6:50 am

*thinks* 3 are exactly the same first 5 letters. 1 5 and 2 6's. the other is the sounding like dead one

6:50 am

The theme apparently means something significant to the sugestee, and I'm almost tempted to ask :D

ch maybe someone has a sock or toe fetish or really likes the brand

6:51 am

so far I have 3 io6's....all starting with the same 3 letters

6:52 am

I've bogged down at 115... ick

6:52 am

LOL!! I hadn't thought of that, but could be! The web site says "The way to enlightment is socks" or something like that ...

go chiley

6:52 am

morning all - what is the theme for today?

6:52 am

Hello...from the chat last night, tonites theme is for oe of our fellow babblers who recently lost a child (not quite to term). sorry I have forgotten her name but gold toes is apparently what hurshy refers to her as. everybody was quite taken with the thought.

6:52 am

Atlante, are you saying I should have 1 more of this group, or more?

8:02 am

Hi evan!

8:02 am

hi evanadine

8:02 am

dont know what happened

8:02 am

Most of my contemporary crushes are married. Although I'm not sure about Kiefer... *goes to imdb*

8:10 am

and, we're back!

8:12 am

or not... can somebody contact DrG? I don't know how

8:12 am

what is going on with the system? s oo oo oo s l o w . . . b e b a c k l a t e r ;)

8:13 am

there is a link at the very bottom of the page Amanda- for 'questions or comments'

someone please talk to the dr god before i cuss more at the screen

8:13 am

and right when we were talking about celebrity crushes :(

8:24 am

ok *types very gingerly* - have sent a message (two or three crashes ago). Used the time to find out that Kiefer is married, but the divorce papers are filed

um i had to send a message via iron sudoko as it wouldn't accept it from here. had enough time to ogel at johnny and orlando

8:32 am

ooooh, orlando....

8:38 am

wow. bad vibes at the site - is it back up to stay?

8:42 am

wouldn't hold my breath on that one, Wolvie

this is total crap i have got 31 words in 2 hours because of the down time it just took me 12 min to load up

8:43 am

amen, fern

8:44 am

Think I'm going to go to the list, otherwise I'll never get finished

8:44 am

hi everyone.. it might be better, if this continues, to work offline, keeping a list to enter at a time when the site is behaving itself... ugh

8:45 am

tjat

8:45 am

that's what i've been doing aloy, it alleviates some frustration

thanks aloyisius i think im going to throw it in and go to bed as im getting very ped off

8:46 am

Hi Aloy

8:46 am

hi amanda!

8:49 am

hi to you, too abe..

8:49 am

hi Aloy!

8:49 am

my word list is gone. i refresh and it's still done

8:49 am

Actually, I know Kiefer. He is married and he has 2 sons.

8:49 am

back agai, hope i stay

8:50 am

abe, try going out again and coming back in

8:50 am

that happened to me too abe - refresh again

8:51 am

Good Morning all. What's happening with the site today? Can't seem to do anything!

8:52 am

NOOOOOO godthaab! All my dreams are shattering today! IMDB says he's married to Kelly Wynn but they (he, she?) have filed for divorce

8:52 am

ok, i'll brb..

8:53 am

it is veryslow, hi judy and i was thrown off and couldnt get back on

8:53 am

hi CJ... I'm a little fearful of entering in the chat box, but I dunno whats up.. have not been on long.

8:53 am

I think we should get a free day on the rankings. There is no way I'm going to finish 298 words adding one an hour.

8:53 am

amanda, who is shattering your dreams? oh dear!

8:53 am

<G>

8:54 am

I agree, mm!

8:54 am

i agree musicmom

8:56 am

8:56 am

Yes, he was married to Kelly, but I did not know that he filed for divorce from her. She is a ery nice lady.

9:00 am

I am going to go po6/21 trying to play today:-)

9:01 am

Dunno who did the filing - maybe it was her

9:01 am

LOL mm - I think I'm going to go do some errands and such and come back later - bye all

9:16 am

hi babblers...annie

9:17 am

9:21 am

9:22 am

if only we knew....

9:22 am

tape

9:23 am

sorry

9:25 am

I know there have been problems, but I'm wondering if everyone is experiencing very slow word adding even when the site is up

9:25 am

I know there have been problems, but I'm wondering if everyone is experiencing very slow word adding even when the site is up

yes loading is very slow as well.

yes loading is very slow as well.

9:31 am

I'm back again. I was thrown off quite a while ago.

9:31 am

I guess I've become kinda spoiled. Everything worked so well until the last couple of days.

How do you fix a broken jack-o-lantern?

9:34 am

good thing there is a "last word added" feature, or I would go completely bonkers, forgetting where I am in the verrrrry sloooow process of entering words..

9:35 am

took me a long time to get logged om today. Now it keeps stopping and starting. Perhaps there are too many babble addicts out there!!

hi everyone...are you now able to enter words?

9:46 am

I'm afraid this is no fun at all, is it?

I just typed in all of my ca words and it hasn't taken any of them yet. Frustrating!!!

I just logged on. sometimes it's slow to acknowledge my entries, but i entered "pose", and got the red bar stating "pose" didn't exist in the puzzle!!!!!???

9:47 am

this is not good

9:47 am

I think I've entered ten words and nothing is showing in the word list. We'll never finish today! *sigh*

9:47 am

this is not good

Hi folks - I guess everyone else is having problems today too

9:48 am

I've e mailed Dr G about the problems on the site today.

9:48 am

Ive gotten 91 words in, but theres about a 5 min backup for me...

9:48 am

Good morning -- are things a little slow today? -- had trouble logging in

9:49 am

worse than slow, cybernan.. :-(

9:49 am

Is DrG on vacation? He's gonna have loads of mail when he finally looks!

9:49 am

slow is being generous

9:50 am

ooh, i think it's better now

9:50 am

Perfect grid for a slow day . . .

9:51 am

holding my breath as I furiously type...

9:51 am

Oooooo. It seems to be working much better. *keeps fingers crossed*

I just refreshed and seem to be going faster too Judy *said under breath so computer can't hear me*

9:53 am

12:04 pm

Hi Aloy and so glad to hear your daughter has made it home salfely.

12:05 pm

12:06 pm

I was thinking the same thing, Aloy. Get those words in before we crash again!

12:06 pm

Im not playing today so I will leave you in peace to catch up with the mamoth word count :)

12:08 pm

oh FMitch.. too much of the "w" today?

12:09 pm

lol too much word and too many words, won't do one this size but iwll hang about the chat log for a while

12:09 pm

Has the site been down this afternoon, I have been trying for ages to get in to see you. Glad I am not playing today or it would have been very frustrating

12:10 pm

fireworks!

12:10 pm

12:11 pm

Congrats Roc and Hi ExWren

12:11 pm

Yay Roc! How'd you manage that? It's been quite the journey today, trying to get in between the crashes, Wren

12:12 pm

12:27 pm

12:27 pm

Nothing like a slow site with a 298 word grid!

12:27 pm

how 'bout the pe's between the nuts and the rind?

12:28 pm

Looks like we're back in business...

12:29 pm

Hi Sprite!

12:29 pm

they're all a bunch of chemical-sounding words

12:29 pm

you will find an enzyme there, amanda..

12:29 pm

.. and something that sounds like what you use to make jelly gel

12:29 pm

with its pl too

12:29 pm

Hey amanda :)

12:30 pm

I was afraid of that - the only one I know isn't there...and I'm not much of a jelly maker

12:30 pm

if you've ever heard of the diarrhea medicine, kaope-------

12:31 pm

good one, Roc

12:31 pm

grid's acting up again -- back later

12:33 pm

Let's hope so, nan... wasn't easy to get back just now :(

12:34 pm

hi Sprite! what are you doing here this time of day? Never heard how that week at summer school went...

12:36 pm

12:36 pm

As + something to write with

12:36 pm

hi everyone! : )

12:38 pm

Hi, TO.

12:38 pm

You will, inge. *looks sternly at the grid: don't go down again, you!*

12:38 pm

So I have 124 words so far... mostly on my own. Should I hit the list now or try for halfway?

12:38 pm

hi TO!

12:38 pm

Hey Temple!

12:38 pm

Hi TO and allthe others, I am going back to my corner to concentrate

12:39 pm

halfway stid, halfway!!

12:39 pm

well, if Sprite's "I mean it" face doesn't work to fix the grid, nothing will!

12:39 pm

okay, trying for halfway. Diving back into the grid and going incommunicado until I get there. see you-all later!

12:40 pm

one pe left - 5/12 right after the code. My monkeys are as frustrated as the rest of us

back at work so i can't linger...grid was down during lunchtime - what rotten timing!

12:40 pm

Gotta leave the office for a while. Down to 132. See everybody when I get back!

bye judy!

12:41 pm

pe - think male organ but change the vowel.

12:41 pm

thanks for your email Sprite - was going to answer but you're here to talk to! If my parents give me any peace over the next few days, I'm going to try and finish my current painting and then do some sketches and stuff for you :)

12:41 pm

Think pasta, amanda

12:41 pm

bye bye Ciocia Judy

12:41 pm

=O

12:42 pm

amanda, that same pe was in a recent grid; delicately, i will tell you that it looks like a pl spelling of the male organ (blush)... i really must look that one up

12:42 pm

Oops! it doesn't mean pasta but is to do with male anatomy!

12:43 pm

Then I hope you will find some Pe5 this week, Ata, LOL! I will be off for the week, back on Friday next.

12:43 pm

oh wow, it is the plural

12:43 pm

Ah! Thank you both - was going from the wrong p

12:43 pm

so do I! I've decided that my house can never be clean enoughor tidy enough to satisfy my mother so I'm just not bothering to worry this time round!

12:45 pm

Torgone, Just wanted you to know I am not babbling today, well I am really but over the work to be done. Just so you know, I won't be begging you for clues, babble is much too large for me today......maybe tomorrow, can you stand it one day without me????

12:45 pm

That's great, a true sign of growing up, Ata :)

12:48 pm

not sure I want to grow up LOL

12:49 pm

"When I grow up I wanna be a kid"

12:49 pm

too right :)

12:50 pm

My heart will go on, Nancy ..

12:50 pm

Hey Ata, your icon, it does look a lot like one of your drawings!

12:50 pm

..I hope ..

12:51 pm

Ok, see you tomorrow then???

12:51 pm

very first st? 6/21

12:52 pm

12:52 pm

12:52 pm

You sure know just what to say....mister poet.

12:53 pm

Ata, it looks like that beautiful drawing of The Dark Side. Really!

12:53 pm

well, it's not halfway, but I did get all the G words by myself, so am heading to the list. back soon

12:53 pm

Aw crud . . .*blushes*

12:53 pm

The Lure of the Dark Side... if I remember correctly, that is.

12:54 pm

So has Nancy read the song on your profile today tor? *widcked grin*

12:54 pm

ooo nice pic! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/38 070676/ and I am having such trouble getting that d**n pic printed because its a picture of Anakin. Am trying to find a local printer that won't care overly much about copyright laws to print off a few copies!

12:54 pm

Yes, I have, such an outpouring of romance....whew....makes my heart flutter.

12:55 pm

ok..what is the qu please?

12:55 pm

LOL! makes my story last night seem tame, you two! ;-) *heads back to enter words into list...*

12:55 pm

okay - is this back up and safe now? ;-)

12:56 pm

rae -- one qu is the beginning of something like a muddy pit that ends qu**mire

12:56 pm

thank you!

12:56 pm

LOL Ata, I get some pic of a computer wallpaper from that link!

12:56 pm

the other is like an earthqu***, but change the last consonant for another

12:56 pm

NEw pic. new pic. not nice pic *sigh*

12:56 pm

Wolvie: back up yes. Safe... well... that's still to be decided!

12:57 pm

ahhh - it was something else this morning, took me 2 hours to enter 75 words. NOT fun. ;-)

12:57 pm

well hopefully nice too!

12:58 pm

Another face for windows, Ata?

12:59 pm

ahh, FIREWORKS at last ! anyone need a clue before I head for the aspirin bottle?

12:59 pm

WTG Aloyisius!

12:59 pm

congrat Aloyisis!

1:00 pm

1:00 pm

grats aloy

1:00 pm

1:01 pm

Yeah! You're in business there, Ata! I just saw that other tattoo coming along on your site, great too!

As long as they were things you like doing, lol.

1:13 pm

LOL Tor!

1:13 pm

1:14 pm

1:15 pm

this grid looks fun! how it is?

1:15 pm

Run away Kris!!!

Krys: the grid is okay. The site is baaaaaad!

1:17 pm

1:19 pm

Hi TO -good to see you!

1:21 pm

1:22 pm

Oh dear, klaurel, that's a challenge! Good luck remembering indeed!

1:22 pm

hi to, hi snowy

1:22 pm

Hi snowy :)

1:22 pm

Hi Charm

1:24 pm

hi charm

1:24 pm

hi Charm

1:25 pm

"You've already entered Ta4, Te6 and all those others you keep entering, stupid. Try something new!" You know things are bad when game sites start yelling at you, don't you think?

1:25 pm

sprite - and then trying to motivate a bunch fo 6-10 year olds to sell popcorn! :) Not to mention, some insanity got me to volunteer to run the popcorn for the darn district.

1:25 pm

Hi, Charm!

1:25 pm

Oh Torgone, I am absolutely bowled over. What a delicious, wonderful surprise. Actually, my name is really Nancy and I do laugh a lot. Thank you Torgone, I am really honored and flattered and I think I'm in love.......

1:25 pm

Hi, Mom, abe, snowy. seems to be quite the crowd right now.

1:25 pm

hey, klaurel

1:25 pm

we are trying make up for lost time from earlier.

1:26 pm

agreed, mom

1:26 pm

klaurel: like the thing you can wear, other last vowel. Da C4 al fine, in music.

1:26 pm

1:28 pm

hi charm( as she finally looks up from grid)..

1:28 pm

Hey, Wolvie!

1:28 pm

That is almost the same, klaurel, only with another consonant.

1:28 pm

yeah - but look at all those P's, charm. ;-)

1:29 pm

but no dreaded un's or re's, although there's the potential for de's....

1:29 pm

okay, I am brain dead. Still can't figure it out. Will come back to it later

1:29 pm

and all of the ca's... lol

1:30 pm

There are no De's in that sense, Charm! But try Di's, LOL

1:30 pm

klaurel = could it be the golfing assistant?

1:30 pm

ok, i'm off - i don't think i have the patience to tackle a big grid if the site is wonky. i'll check in and see if we get a nice sweet <100 word grid later in the week,

1:30 pm

1:30 pm

1:35 pm

thanks, Judy

1:36 pm

1:36 pm

ah - thanks judy!

1:36 pm

First 8 builds on the very first word, Ac5/12. Past tense.

1:37 pm

Ciocia just gave one Ca7, the plural is an 8. If you change the last 3 letters of the 7 into a small network for the home computer, you have the other, and plural is another 8.

1:38 pm

thanks sprite!

1:38 pm

Douglas, you have an extra toe!

5:39 pm

I'm over 20% complete! Woo-hoo!

5:40 pm

I was wondering when someone was going to notice that!

5:40 pm

thank you curtis, for so kindly trying to help -- I didn't mean to holler, just wanted to find them on my own because they were the big ones

5:41 pm

But I think you mean to say, "Douglas, your icon has a foot with an extra toe!" My feet are the standard model...

5:41 pm

oh no douglas, that's a photo of your foot, I'm sure of it

5:42 pm

i understand perfectly

5:42 pm

whats 2morrows theme.

5:43 pm

It's a great conversation starter!

5:43 pm

evening all, could someone point me in the direction of either ca 8?

5:44 pm

ooh, after missing the di 5, I am happy to have found the ca 5 that is similar

5:44 pm

ah...douglas has an extra toe :)

5:44 pm

(not looking at aknitter clues... not looking...)

5:44 pm

capel*

5:44 pm

nrkii i am clueless !!!

5:45 pm

nrkii do u need them as well

i have returned ! any progress on the lag?

5:46 pm

I remember reading a book as a child, that showed a picture of a child with six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot.

5:46 pm

aknitter, one is what superman wears + ***d of the free, home of the brave + plural

5:46 pm

oggy, I need one set

5:46 pm

but I"m still hunting

huh - no, seems as bad as before, or does it?

5:46 pm

we wont clue until u have it first.

5:47 pm

A small edible marine fish (Mallotus villosus) of northern Atlantic and Pacific waters, related to and resembling the smelt.

5:47 pm

ooh, the other is a little bitty version of what superman wears

5:47 pm

Are things running a little more smoothly now?

5:47 pm

ty for the ca's

5:47 pm

clue please for that ca7/32 that immediately follows the ca4 felines?

5:47 pm

thanks oggy! much appreciated!

5:47 pm

cybernan, it seems to be better now.

nan - maybe you can get an answer out of this binch, i just asked that - maybe they're pretending the lag doesn't exist :)

5:48 pm

iron briefs

*bunch*

5:48 pm

iron briefs .. sound rather uncomfortable

5:49 pm

helen, nan, it's better than it was

5:49 pm

And as long as we're on the subject of extra fingers, there is a Bible reference I feel I must share with you...

5:49 pm

but still not "normal"

ohhh, so you CAN see me!

lol - hiya nrkii & all!

5:49 pm

sorry helen

5:50 pm

first st6/21?

5:50 pm

In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot--twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. - II Samuel 21:20

5:50 pm

were the 'iron breis' a clue for that elusive ca7/32 that follows the felines?

5:50 pm

6 to go helen, scurrying to finish before another babble meltdown

no you're not oggy! besides aren't you still grounded from last night? for suggesting 300? yes, i think that was you - actually i don't blame you all for being all business since it's taking so long to get anythign accepted :)

go nrkii go!

59 to go here

5:51 pm

st6/21 -- sounds like when you put stuff on top of each other in a tall pile, you have st***** it. instead of the ck use a beverage, and then add a vowel.

5:51 pm

I'm halfway to halfway - woohoo!

5:52 pm

di 5/6 combo clue??

5:52 pm

i am the culprit for suggesting 300 words today, but WHAT about 2morrow.

5:53 pm

One word is those nasty things in Invasion of the Body Snatchers!

oggy - sounds like you have the beginning of a good rap there!

that's if there is such a thing as a good rap, hmmmm

5:54 pm

2 to go...

5:54 pm

i dont like the small grids.

5:54 pm

5:55 pm

phew!

5:55 pm

yay nrkii ! hi everyone!

5:56 pm

Hooray for nrkii!

thanks, nrkii -- got it, and now have all my c's...

5:57 pm

there is no DI 5/6 combo

5:57 pm

CONGRATS nrkii!!

5:57 pm

the OP 7 you are prob looking for is the most op 4/5

5:57 pm

you're joking ... I have it from BJ's list. Error?

5:57 pm

but it could be the past tense of op 6

5:58 pm

bless you nrkii -- the op was exactly that!

5:58 pm

there are di 5 and di 6

5:58 pm

but none that are same root, except ...

5:58 pm

oh, I jsut assumed a relationship ... silly me.

5:58 pm

the only one that IS the same root is a di 6 followed by a di 5

5:58 pm

okay then... Guess I'm looking for a clue for the di5/14 that follows past tense of losing weight :)

5:59 pm

okay, that is di + poem

5:59 pm

thank you!

5:59 pm

The more I read your comments about today's grid, I am glad I didn't start this morning. The site went down for nearly 2 hours this afternoon.

6:33 pm

I give up trying to go listless today -- back when I have my list filled in!

6:35 pm

Hold your breath and cross your fingers, ExWren. It could happen again. Site very testy today.

6:36 pm

Okay, feeling a little more cheerful . . . FINALLY got the pe's out of the way :)

6:37 pm

Anyway, I only looked in to say goodnight, I don't have to beat my brains out trying to finish, 'cos I didn't start!

6:40 pm

c words are evil

6:40 pm

myself, I don't have a single io word, and I can't see them . . .

I am positive these C words are not english!! Everytime I get a word, I can't believe it has a meaning!

6:42 pm

Co8/60, MrP... flirty wench.

it is the stupid QU that is throwing me today! LOL

6:45 pm

the qu 4 is the first part of a muddy place, or qu**mire

I need clues for the i's. I only have id4/5 and id6/21.

6:47 pm

hi all...I'm just hoping to get half of the words

6:47 pm

io + blind **** with a stranger

6:47 pm

I'm in the same boat, Judi -- all the rest are io words, and I don't have a single one

6:48 pm

io + past tense of to do; add a vowel

6:48 pm

thats all i have!

6:49 pm

TY abe!!

6:49 pm

6:49 pm

Annie!! I had a dream that I did that same thing last night!!!

6:55 pm

No, Jen. Just... babbling.

6:55 pm

any ca 7/32

6:56 pm

Mr. P. i have to get my hands off the enter key

6:56 pm

6:56 pm

6:56 pm

oh poor Annie!! *gets out the nail gun*

6:56 pm

*Throws meds to Annie*. Somebody call Dr. Phil! This is an emergency!

6:56 pm

another one . . . io + do, past tense + plural

6:57 pm

and the singular of that --- YEA, all the io words! This calls for chocolate!

6:57 pm

Dr. Phil? Judi, what do you think of him, do you like the show?

6:57 pm

abe and annie get big chunks of chocolate

6:58 pm

Hi everyone! I am back from a wonderful day at the beach! Had a heck of a time playing babble this am. Kept getting connection error notice.

6:58 pm

mmmm. t hanks jen!

6:58 pm

*gobble, gobble*

6:58 pm

it's still slow at times, peri

6:58 pm

Hello People!

6:58 pm

hi, peri! it's been like that all day

6:58 pm

hi chic!

6:59 pm

took the meds, it worked

6:59 pm

Hi Annie! meds, schmeds; it's original!

Hi chic!

7:00 pm

Hey Mrp, good morning!

7:00 pm

I can only take small doses of Dr. Phil, Annie. Most of the time I think he's just a big phoney and an Oprah syncophant. Other times, he's rather hypnotic and I can't drag myself away. He does get points for not b.s.ing the drunks in denial and the teenage prostitues.

7:00 pm

Jacula -- ca 7 & 8 following little cloaks, any ca 7/32, please

7:00 pm

chic, i love your toes...

7:00 pm

hi peri, chic...others

7:00 pm

bye........ every word i've entered in the la** twnety minutes have been duplicates. see you tomorrow

7:00 pm

thank goodness, they are not actually my toes...

7:01 pm

cybernan- ca + number + vowel. (ca 6) latin and regular plurals for the 7

7:01 pm

Hey Kristinc, good to see you back...

7:01 pm

by, arlene

7:02 pm

thanks chic...ditto the love of your icon (although sorta creepy)

7:02 pm

another phantom = elope

7:02 pm

Judi, I agree with you but the man does make sense. I wonder if the people on his show get paid. I would never humilate myself like that and they cry on cue. I wonder....

7:02 pm

ca's after 'little cloaks' - they sound a bit like Samuri swords but are not spelled the same. ca6/21 is a closely linked series of writing or commentaries. (ca + a brand of pantie pads [not 'Depends'!]) ca7/32 is the Latin plural and ca7/32 after it is the normal plural.

7:03 pm

Thanks, Abe

7:03 pm

Thanks, Jacula -- not sure about the samui swords! -- got the rest

7:04 pm

Yeah, Annie. If he has any credibility, he has a few hours on the couch with his guests before the shoe. Even so, even the best shrink can't make a complete diagnosis in less than an hour (let alone in front of cameras).

7:04 pm

Last ca7/32 is a cross between a steer and an American Buffalo.

7:04 pm

Fireworks at last!

7:05 pm

I meant "show" not shoe. Was looking at cybernan's foot. Freudian.

7:05 pm

okay, I heart Jacula, too -- ty, only two more ca words to go

7:05 pm

hooray pappou!

7:05 pm

thanks, kristin

7:05 pm

7:05 pm

co6/30 and co8/60 please

7:05 pm

WTG, Pappou

7:06 pm

boy, I didn't think I was going to finish especially since the words were moving soooooooo slow

7:06 pm

and if you noticed, when the people he is going to help and are filmed at home they look like sh** and on the show, perfect hair, makeup and esp. the shoes. well good for him he's making a fortune. Enough about him. LOL

7:06 pm

ty Jacula -- have to work on the swords and the buffalo!

7:06 pm

pappou...did the lightning go away too?

7:06 pm

that's it...i'm done. 125 left, but just not into it tonite. may be back if my mood changes.

7:07 pm

peri, think of the lawn game and take out the r

7:07 pm

Peri - the co's you want are variant spellings of the Frenh for a flirty lady. It's been in the grid before. Sounds a bit like a lawn game played with mallets & hoops (think Alice in Wonderland).

7:07 pm

well done anyhow cathy!

7:07 pm

*French

7:07 pm

peri, the co 8 is a shameless flirt. for the 6, take away the last two letters

7:07 pm

kristin, yes, finally, we lost power for a few minutes

7:07 pm

oh -- I had the buffalo one -- it's the 7/32 after the felines that I'm missing

7:07 pm

nan. ca 6.21 = feline and French way of saying hello

7:07 pm

I gotta sign off. Too sleep deprived to continue. Waterbed heater broke the other night. Have been sleeping on a regular bed. Sleeping only in the figurative sense.

7:08 pm

tks...if not later, then tomorrow everyone! bye bye

7:08 pm

7:08 pm

oh...but b4 i go....kristen? do u like the toe ring?

7:08 pm

7:09 pm

Tempur-Pedic. Jeebus! I can't type tonight.

7:09 pm

I do Cathy...thanks for reminding me to look. How very special.

7:09 pm

Jen - 2nd set of ca7 & 8 words (think little cloaks) sound like Juliet's surname. (Romeo was a Montague and Juliet a Ca*****.)

7:09 pm

judi, I hear ya, happened to me, never had another night of restful sleep since my waterbed died

7:09 pm

sweet dreams. Judi

7:10 pm

7:10 pm

7:13 pm

Jen - did you get the second ca 7/8 combo?

7:13 pm

peri, think milk-providing

7:13 pm

Jen - you're looking for the set before those two! Extend your ca4/6 (what batman & Dracula wear) with the first 3 letters of an l4/4 (country road) word.

7:13 pm

thnx cybernan

7:13 pm

7:32 pm

it was very well-timed, krista :)

7:33 pm

sorry kalea ;)

7:34 pm

9:28 pm

9:28 pm

9:29 pm

shmooz, first one is green veg + over****

9:29 pm

"And send Paul immediately if she takes a turn for the worse -- not John, the poor boy has enough to do with those three youngsters of his!" She winked at Paul, "Besides, it will be good for folks to see me with this stranger. Gives me an air of mystery."

9:29 pm

9:32 pm

cat + mr. gore + vowel

9:32 pm

9:33 pm

Cathy kissed her mother, picked up the recipe card and darted out the back door.

9:33 pm

(I was behind in the story but caught up now!)

9:33 pm

9:33 pm

9:33 pm

John met Cathy at the gate and bowed deeply, "Good afternoon, dear Auntie! May I help you ascend the steps?"

9:33 pm

last te6/21 anyone?

9:34 pm

Cathy gave him a solid knock on his head and ignored his proffered hand. "I am not so venerable yet, young man!"

9:34 pm

number + high card

9:35 pm

number after 9 + super pilot

9:35 pm

John laughed and rubbed his head. "Mother and Anna should be in the kitchen again, Auntie. I'll be in the garden with the kids if you need me."

9:35 pm

Cathy grinned and quickly ascended the steps.

Gilly soon brought her up to date, and not long after, Paul came through the door from the yard. "The doctor says Doris will need to stick to simple foods for a few days until all the swelling is down," he announced, putting an armful of wood in the box.

9:40 pm

Paul glanced upstairs, "Do you think Doris is ready to get up yet?"

9:48 pm

*i think Paul is getting into being home and a daddy! :-)*

Gilly smiled and swept up the stairs, returning to the kitchen with a much improved Doris just as John and the children entered with their finds.

does anyone else's butt hurt from sitting? LOL1

9:49 pm

lol TO

9:49 pm

lol t-owl!!!

9:49 pm

Anna handed Sarah to Meg, and checked Gray and Olivia's hands. Frowning, she sent them and their father outside to wash up. Andy laughed, but soon joined them when Paul pointed out that he had carrots growing out of his fingernails.

9:49 pm

rofl cuz my butt is numb!

9:50 pm

TO, my butt was surgically attached to my sofa ages ago so I could babble incessantly...

9:51 pm

Soon, the family was gathered around the kitchen table -- a little crowded, but happy. Nan sat next to Doris, occasionally putting her hand out as if to reassure herself that her sister was there.

9:51 pm

nite lbdawger...sleep well

9:51 pm

why sorry, TO? enjoy your walk and we'll see you later!

9:51 pm

9:52 pm

se........roman poet

9:53 pm

Kalea, I'm still monkeying with the pe 7/36. Thx for the clue

9:53 pm

Paul looked around and said, "Well I suppose you are all anxious to hear a bit more of my journeys?"

9:53 pm

If "space in head" is anything like mine, it's so safe it'll never be thought of again!

9:53 pm

ok, back from important emailing - hope I haven't missed a lot of the story but can always catch up at babanon -- sorry, stid!

9:53 pm

it's okay Jill -- pretty tame stuff tonight so far!

9:54 pm

9:54 pm

I also need the pe 6/24 & y/36 before the rind of the lemon. Help!!

9:54 pm

The room grew very silent, except, of course, for Sarah, who was happily playing with a bit of biscuit crumbled in front of her.

9:55 pm

pe6......chest muscle plus less than nines

9:55 pm

singular and plural

9:55 pm

***I will omit the quotes in Paul's bit for a while. That way quotes in his story won't be confusing****

9:56 pm

9:57 pm

i'm not up on my Roman poets....any other clue for the last se6?

9:57 pm

Soon after I landed across the sea, I took a wagon train of sailors and other "hands" toward the mountains in the distance, to see if we could trade for more supplies. The supplies in the harbor town were so costly that most of our trade goods would have be gone before we reached our true destination.

9:58 pm

se + up to my ***k + first vowel

9:58 pm

oh, thank you!

9:58 pm

None of us really spoke the language of those parts, but some of the sailors could pull together enough from other tongues they knew to make our needs understood.

9:59 pm

yw

10:00 pm

It was very good to have my feet on solid ground again, and I could tell my faithful donkey felt the same. My cart was small, but sturdy, and carried tents and supplies for us.

*whispers* fireworks!

10:00 pm

The first day away from the harbor, we passed through lush farm country. The grains grew tall and were supple in the wind that swept in from the ocean.

10:00 pm

YAY TO! (go take a walk)

10:00 pm

*whispers* yayyyyyyyyy TO

10:00 pm

WELL DONE TEMPLE OWL (can't whisper after a grid like this)

We stayed the first night in a small village, and entertained the locals with songs from our many homes.

The second day, the terrain grew steadily more rocky, and soon there were goats among the sheep, and the cattle were more rugged looking. There were more trees here, too.

I said "oh dear" but it didn't get posted

10:11 pm

okay stid...we get it...we won't chat anymore during storytime :)

10:11 pm

And while I could recognize some of the fruits, there were many I did not know -- some that looked like nut trees that had berries on them, and some that looked like giant flowers with vegetable pods hanging from their leaves.

10:12 pm

10:14 pm

thanks kalea -- seem to be blind tonight!

10:14 pm

sure glad we didn't need to do mouth to mouth, Judy

10:14 pm

The third day when we awoke there was fog. We could see the trail we had come in on, but were not sure of the way we should go to get closer to the mountains.

10:14 pm

okay Leigh. thx.

10:14 pm

10:14 pm

10:14 pm

yw nan........that was a weird one, for sure

10:14 pm

thx Kristin. Glad to hear she finished. I lost track.

10:14 pm

The fog started to lift around midday, but not before we had heard some strange sounds coming from the woods around us.

10:15 pm

One sailor swore up and down that he had seen a face at the bottom of a pool in the stream.

10:15 pm

Okay. Time for bed. See you Babblers tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of the story.

10:15 pm

night Judy

10:15 pm

*okay, everybody quiet now???*

10:15 pm

Of course, that was the same man who had spent his first night aboard ship making charms against sea serpents for everyone on board.

10:16 pm

10:16 pm

ok -- 4 left all from those pesky c's...

10:17 pm

Several who had gone around the edges of the clearing to gather more wood for the noon meal felt they had been watched by the trees as they picked up branches. One man, a young man from a village like ours, said he had seen a tree move away from him into the forest.

10:17 pm

Of course, no one else had seen this, so we didn't believe him.

10:17 pm

is the 2nd to last ca a 7/32? -- if so, could I have a clue, please?

10:18 pm

But whatever the explanations were, the animals were restless and kept shifting about. We had to keep checking their hobbling to be sure they wouldn't get loose.

10:18 pm

yes nan..........feline + eagle claw minus last letter

10:19 pm

As we ate, the fog lifted and we could see the trail we intended to follow. We quickly hitched up the animals and moved on.

10:20 pm

We came upon a series of hills, each a bit higher and more difficult than the last. Periodically, we could see a cairn, or the remains of a cottage, but we passed no others traveling in either direction.

10:20 pm

Even birds were scarce in this strange forest.

10:21 pm

ce 5/12 -- not "stop"?

10:21 pm

We were glad when, just at dusk, we saw a comfortable, good-sized town below us by a river.

10:21 pm

stid thanks and good night. will read up tomorrow

10:21 pm

We arrived at the gate just as it was closing.

10:21 pm

good night inge.

10:21 pm

nite, inge

10:21 pm

The guards were suspicious of us, but let us in and directed us to a tavern close to the town wall.

10:22 pm

goodnight inge

10:22 pm

We gratefully put up our horses and donkeys in their stable and ate a hot meal before finding space in the loft of the tavern.

10:23 pm

Some of the more experienced travelers among us cautioned everyone to sleep with their heads on their bags and their hands on their knives.

10:23 pm

Turned out, this advice was more necessary than we could have suspected.

10:23 pm

*** to normal mode***

10:24 pm

oh???

10:25 pm

leaving us in suspenders?

10:25 pm

Paul looked around the table. Doris was nodding gently. Adam and Ava were sitting, each with a great-grandchild on their lap. The children's expressions were intent.

10:25 pm

"I think we should stop here -- the next bit is quite complicated," Paul explained.

10:25 pm

i love scary stories!!!

10:26 pm

The children groaned, but Gilly spoke quickly. "Yes, and Owain and Otto haven't heard any of this yet. We'll invite them to supper tomorrow after the market closes and Father can continue."

10:26 pm

For now, Polly will you and Meg help Doris get back to bed?

10:27 pm

*groaning*

10:27 pm

"Andy, you and Nan can go make sure the animals have water."

10:27 pm

*groaning*

10:27 pm

"Andy, you and Nan can go make sure the animals have water."

10:28 pm

Adam and Ava and Cathy stood up, putting their plates and bowls by the sink on their way out.

10:28 pm

sorry nan, was away...........ce5.......rhymes with common sense

10:29 pm

Adam looked at Paul, "Whatever else, you tell a good story, son." He winked at him. "We'll see you tomorrow ."

10:29 pm

11:15 pm

So all I need 8 wise are the two ca8's And may I add that there are entirely too many C and P words in this grid :D
